Saint Francis Preparatory School

Project Background
The scope of the Saint Francis Preparatory School's Capital Improvements Campaign included a Facilities Assessment Study which documents the condition of the existing facility, and preparation of a Master Plan which identified major renovations and additions to the facility, along with Architectural, Structural, and MEP/FP Systems upgrades. A Steering Committee commissioned the services of TRITEC Construction Consulting Services (TCCS) as their Program Manager, to assist in the interview and selection of a qualified team of architects and engineers to conduct the CIC, and to assist in the estimating and scheduling of the overall project, and ultimately to coordinate the bidding and construction of the project. After setting up the project Saint Francis asked TRITEC to act as the Construction Manager for the construction of the facility.

The building expansion was designed to marry a non-symmetrical mass into the existing symmetrical building layout, and to consolidate the various educational programs, while alleviating major student interior circulation issues. The exterior masonry was selected to make a bold statement to potential donors, that the expansion represents a revitalization of the 150 year history of the institution, and is complimented with more contemporary materials such as metal panels and glass curtain wall systems.

The construction of the facility is took place during the school’s operational hours, with limited site mobility. As Construction Manager, TRITEC’s primary concern was for the safety for all student and faculty, which were addressed through detailed Site Safety and Logistics Plan, which was generated with the schools administrative staff.
